Yes, sounds silly but I read somewhere that one of these dome mids gets brittle and a warming will make them supple again. ???? Hell I don't know, that's why I asked. Are you a little teste? http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/teste Am I a witness? Yes, witness to a potential catastrophe or train wreck whatever you want to call it. The heat will make the domes age faster, so if they are already brittle...your going to fuck them up even more. Use liquid silicone or vinyl conditioner, even heard of some people using automotive liquid wax.

This guy does a good job with them - $83 shipped.... http://www.ebay.com/itm/INFINITY-Kappa-6-7-8-9-PolyDome-Driver-REPAIR-Service-I-Can-Fix-These-/281343038918?pt=Vintage_Electronics_R2&hash=item41815a15c6 Good old Michael Marks.

The domes can be fixed but personaly would harvest them out of other polydomes that pop up on ebay when need be.

Those are complete garbage. Notice they are rated for 6 ohms and not 4 to 3.8 ohms like the polydomes. Unfortunately as I stated earlier there are NO replacements for the originals. Some people get suckered into replacing them with those and wind up with a different mid range response, think the guys over at Orange County were plugging those a while back. OC does re-foaming for some of the Infinity guys but why they plug that midrange is beyond me, the specs are not even close on paper.

The grilles are easy to re-cover. I did my Kappa 6 and Kappa 9 speakers with cloth from from this guy here. 3m super 77 multipurpose spray adhesive works great, make sure to tape off the inside area of the grille frame for run off or overspray. BTW you should always leave the grills on but popping them off every once and a while to drool is ok too.

Those caps are overrated and good for 30 or more years, you would have to remove them to properly test. I was told by 2 people high up in the know not to ever recap those crossovers, I've touched on this subject before. Leave them alone, focus on repairing the cabinets and drivers, you'll be happy you listened to me.

Good deal. Then I would pick these bitches up and call it a day. I looked at the other pairs on eBay and were not as clean as these, I see no wrinkles or pits in the kapton. This is the kit I would use to re-foam your drivers too.

I would not even fuck with the crossover, you'll wind up doing more harm than good. Can you look at the part # on the back of your EMIT-R's magnet? Should start with a 902. And BTW if that is the EMIT that belongs with the speaker then you have the 6.2 series II which was produced for 6 months (after the first series of .1's) before Infinity pulled the plug on those speakers. You can confirm this by looking at your crossover. If it just says 6.1 on the back then the plain EMIT-R's belong in there.

Nice score. Let me be the first to tell you to get an exact replacement off eBay. There is no suitable "Drop In" replacement, you would be doing yourself and those speakers a huge disservice if you changed them with something else. Those ribbons are fine as long as they are not being under driven, that's how people fry those ribbons when they hook up a cheap ass amp. If you can score a pair of the EMIT-R's for cheap I would keep the one you have now as a spare.

Woohoo! November 10th baby! Pink Floyd has announced the track list for their much anticipated next album, The Endless River, as well as the album art; the latter appeared on buildings in 10 cities, including New York and Los Angeles. The album, as previously reported, is taken from outtakes from the band’s most recent studio album in 1994, which featured the lineup of guitarist/singer David Gilmour, drummer Nick Mason and the late Richard Wright on keyboards and vocals. Wright succumbed to cancer in 2008. The Division Bell The Endless River will be available on standard CD, double vinyl and as a deluxe box set that includes 39-minutes of extra material. http://www.pinkfloyd.com/theendlessriver/
